Matías Soulé scores a stunner and sets up another in Roma win | OneFootball

The Argentine forward Matías Soulé scored a stunning goal and provided an assist in Roma's 2-1 victory over Fiorentina in Florence during the sixth matchday of Serie A, where he reached five direct contributions to his team's goals.

La Viola took the lead at 14 minutes thanks to a phenomenal play by Moise Kean. The Italian striker chased a long ball from his defense, faced the rival defender one-on-one, outmaneuvered him with a step-over, and before entering the box, surprised everyone with a powerful right-footed shot that hit the far post of Serbian Mile Svilar.

Eight minutes later, the visitors equalized. Soulé captured a rebound at the edge of the opponent's area and, without controlling the ball, struck with his left foot and placed the ball in the top corner of the goal guarded by Spaniard David De Gea.

Seconds before the half-hour mark, the former Juventus player delivered a tense cross from the right, and Italian midfielder Brayn Cristante anticipated everyone at the near post and scored the second for the Giallorossi.

In this way, the 22-year-old Argentine, who was not called up by Lionel Scaloni for the October FIFA double date, reached three goals (the previous ones were against Pisa and Hellas Verona) and two assists in the current edition of Serie A. On the other hand, he had recently missed a penalty against Lille in the Europa League.

Moreover, Gian Piero Gasperini's team reached 15 points in six matches and climbed to the top of Serie A, a position that can only be matched by Napoli and Milan. Roma's next match will be against Inter on October 18 at the Stadio Olimpico.
